DO ANY OF YOU KNOW OR CARE ABOUT WHY WE CELEBRATE VALENTINE'S DAY? IT'S THE DAY ST VALENTINE DIED. IT'S HIS FEAST DAY. IT HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH CUTESIE TEDDY BEARS, FLOWERS, CHOCOLATE, AND ALL THAT CRAP! ST VALENTINE WAS PERSECUTED FOR HIS RELIGIOS BELIEFS AND IMPRISONED. THE PEOPLE WHO BELIEVED AND FOLLWED HIM WOULD SEND HIM MESSAGES OF ENCOURAGEMENT. WHILE HE WAS IN JAIL, HE WOULD WRITE BACK TO HIS PEOPLE, TELING THEM TO KEEP PRAYING FOR THEM, AND HE WOULD KEEP THE FAITH, ND THAT HE STILL LOVED HIS PEOPLE FOR NOT GIVING UP ON HIM. THESE MESSAGES ARE WHERE WE GET THE NAME "VALENTNES" FROM. SO, WHAT WE ARE REALLY CELEBRATING ON VALENTINE'S DAY IS A DEAD SAINT'S FEAST DAY. (BY THE WAY, SAME GOES FOR ST PATTY'S DAY TOO)! IT'S A DEAD SAINT'S FEAST DAY!
